Letter: Come on Sen. Lee, you can do it: Put on your big boy pants and face the public

(Bethany Baker | The Salt Lake Tribune) U.S. Senator Mike Lee endorses Utah Republican state party chair incumbent candidate Rob Axson during the State Organizing Convention for the Utah Republican Party at Utah Valley University in Orem on Saturday, May 17, 2025.

I have owned a business and been an employee of many other businesses. In all of them the people who worked at the business at some point had to meet with the owners/people in charge to review their performance. This included answering any questions, including the hard questions.

This may be news to him, but Sen. Mike Lee is an employee of the voters in Utah. He has a duty to meet with his bosses — the public — for a review of what he has been doing in Congress.

Why hasn’t he already done this? Is he too busy? No, because he had time to fly to a military base in Greenland, where he did not leave the base because there might be protesters who might say mean things to him. Is it because he is afraid to face the public in Salt Lake City? Is he scared because he might be asked hard questions?

Come on Mike Lee, you can do it, put on your big boy pants and talk to us. We won’t hurt you.

Bob Gilchrist, Millcreek
